THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S

"The earth is the LORD’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it.” Psalm 24:1
One of the reasons I remember a particular village was because of the number of children who attended the dedication. There were at least 50 kids, probably closer to 75. Looking at them made me appreciate that they were the future of Malawi.
Those kids were going to be the next doctors or engineers or farmers or teachers who were going to be the next leaders of the country. The well we were dedicating was going to provide them with the clean, sustainable water which would help keep them alive. The cholera and dysentery which claims the lives of so many children would no longer have a hold on their lives.
If you believe what Jesus said, you have to do what Jesus did.
And what Jesus did is what you are doing when you help bring clean water to the villagers in Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, and Mozambique. You are helping the people who Jesus helped. The people who have little material wealth but have a great amount of spiritual wealth. People whose potential would be unrealized but now will have that chance. The world will be a better place because of your help.
Application Question: What do you do that Jesus called you to do?
Prayer: Good Shepherd, We thank You for the hope You give to those who need it most. Help us to hear what You said and to do what You did. We ask this in Your name. Amen
